MARLEY

Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult
Springfield, MA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Marley came to TJO quite itchy and nervous, but opened up quickly to staff and soon enjoyed all the butt scratches she could handle. Her favorite toy is tennis balls; she enjoys collecting them, fetching them, chewing on them, and sometimes tearing them open. Do you have room for a loveable tennis ball dragon?OTHER PETS: Marley was not interested in meeting hyper dogs, and gets grumpy with other dogs if they play too roughly (even if not with her); Marley would do best as an only dog although she enjoys socializing with low energy dogs outside of the home. [Should Be Only Pet] NO CATS, NO DOGS OWNER EXPERIENCE: Marley is going to need time, compassion, and understanding while she settles in - it may take longer than usual for her to begin to settle in and open up. Someone with experience would be able to support Marley with a minimal learning curve. [Some Experience] KIDS: Marley can be intense with her food and takes time to warm up to people; she needs to live with humans who will not mess with her food bowls and understand she may take time to become affectionate with them - Marley is nervous around strangers and will growl at them. [12+ (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Marley walks well on a leash and enjoys spending time outside, she enjoys fetch and other toy involved play with humans and does not get overly excited. Marley would do best with daily walks, some quality playtime, and plenty of mental enrichment. [Good Walking Buddy] VETERINARY CARE: Marley arrived with some very itchy, scabby, skin. She had received vet care and is now back to 100%. A good relationship with a vet will ensure that Marley ages gracefully. [Routine]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Marley bond with her new owner as well as help her learn important skills.

KARMA

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult
Springfield, MA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Karma is an outgoing, high energy girl who enjoys playing with people and has been known to bop humans with her toys from time to time. She is very people oriented, but still needs help channeling her excitement and will need the support of her humans to tackle the fun challenge of positive reinforcement training.OTHER PETS: Karma has a very active prey drive, she should not live with small dogs or cats. She can be pushy with other dogs so she should meet any dog she may be living with to ensure a good match.[Case-By-Case *NO SMALL DOGS NO CATS* (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Someone who has experience with athletic, high energy dogs would be a good fit for Karma.[Some Experience] KIDS: Karma is jumpy, sometimes muzzle punches (booping with her nose), and is uncomfortable with some handling. Karma's best fit would be in a home with adults and older teens only. [15+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Karma has a lot of energy and will need appropriate ways to channel it to ensure she does not amuse herself at her owner's belongings expense. Multiple or longer daily walks would be a great idea, and supervised outdoor playtime will give Karma the chance to roll around and be a goofy wiggle butt. [Olympic Athlete]VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Karma bond with her new owner as well as help her learn important skills. Karma may be able to work on reducing her prey drive if her owner seeks the assistance of a qualified Veterinary Behavorist, however to keep animals safe Karma should not have access to small dogs or other animals.

BABE

Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Senior
Springfield, MA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Babe is a sweet older girl who might take a while to warm up. She can be skittish with new people, but once she's comfortable she'll be leaning in for all the pets! She's not a fan of loud noises, and will startle easily when she's not expecting something, but she's so gentle and sweet--especially when it comes to treats! Since she's such a nervous dog, patience and support will be crucial in helping Bella adjust to her new home. OTHER PETS: While Babe isn't overtly reactive with other dogs, she prefers to keep to herself and isn't fond of close interaction. She would be happiest as an only dog in the home, where she can have her own space. [Should Be Only Pet]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Someone dedicated to building Babe's confidence and supporting her as she adjusts to life in a new home would be ideal. [First Dog / Some Experience]KIDS: Babe can be uncomfortable with some types of handling--especially with those she doesn't know yet--so she would likely do best around kids that are old enough to respect her boundaries and understand how to interact with her. [13+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Babe hasn't had a huge interest in toys during her stay at TJO, but once she's settled in a home environment it's possible that her energy level may change. She's definitely a dog that'd be happy sharing space on the couch with her people, but she can also be a great walking buddy - she loves her daily walks and does beautifully on leash! [Couch Potato / Good Walking Buddy]VETERINARY CARE: [Routine]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Babe will do best learning with someone who can offer both patience and confidence while she adjusts. Positive reinforcement training will help Babe not only learn her basic cues, but also help her to feel more comfortable and confident in herself! It will provide a good opportunity for her to bond with her new owner as well as she slowly acclimates to a new home. [Minimal]GROOMING: Routine brushing will help to minimize shedding in the home.

Story
Balto is a social guy who loves to snuggle in for pats when he's in the mood! He loves to investigate his environment and would likely be a great candidate for scent work sports. He gets along with other dogs and likes to chase toys, though he doesn't quite know how to bring them back yet. OTHER PETS: Balto has gotten along with other dogs while here at TJO, and has been tolerant of being jumped on and even other dogs bumping into him during play. While he hasn't initiated play on his own yet, he would likely get along with another dog in the home. [Likely (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Huskies are notorious for finding ways out of things meant to contain them. Someone who has experience with huskies or high energy, independent thinkers, would be best suited to ensure Balto has awesome adventures for the remainder of his life. [Some Experience] KIDS: Balto is uncomfortable with some types of handling and can be jumpy with people, so he would likely fit best in a home with kids who are old enough to understand how to interact with him and won't be knocked over easily. [12+ (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Huskies are high energy dogs that need both physical exercise and mental stimulation daily. Balto is no exception, and will need healthy ways to channel his energy--including mental enrichment--to ensure that he does not create his own entertainment. Some activities Balto might enjoy are: multiple daily walks, hiking, puzzle boxes, treat puzzles, or even dog sports. Due to his investigative personality, we think he would be a great candidate for scent work specifically! [Good Walking Buddy] VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Balto can be jumpy and often pulls at the end of the leash. Depending on his new family's preferences, he may need help learning how to walk loosely on leash and greet people from the ground. Positive reinforcement training will help Balto with not only learning his basic cues & skills, but also help him to bond with his new owner. Like most dogs he would likely be a good candidate for scent work, a satisfying outlet for dogs' need to sniff and learn about the world around them. [Minimal / Moderate] GROOMING: Regular brushing will help keep Baltoâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s coat clean and matt-free-- huskies blow their coats twice a year, and many owners choose to have a professional groomer help with the extra shedding.
